KwaZulu-Natal-born singer and songwriter Naledi Aphiwe dropped her first single last week Friday. The 17-year-old gained recognition after a video of her singing a song with her classmates gained online popularity and was later sampled by American singer, Chris Brown.
Before the song dropped, many artists in the industry congratulated her, including Babes Wodumo who took to Instagram and shared pictures of herself and Aphiwe and wrote, “Congratulations baby wami.”
